VIA EPIA MII 12000 1.2Ghz Motherboard questions

I have a few questions about the VIA EPIA MII 12000 1.2Ghz Motherboard I was hoping some one could answer.

1: What cpu core does it have? Is it the Nehemiah or Eden?

2: I am building it to use mainly for mp3, video playback using windows xp or XPe (if I can get it to work). Does it have enough CPU and Video power to handel divx playback, dvd from hdd playback, mp3 playback using windows media player 10 with visuals?

3: Can I boot Windows Xp or XPe from the CF card slot? I know there have been may threds on this but what is the current standing?

Will play all media that WMP10 supports smoothly

I have this board running off an Opus 150W and 1 GB of ram. The OS is XP Pro may switch to Media Center for a test. I like the speed of the board so far. I have developed my own application using VB6 and it runs it fine using WMP10 embeded in the application. It plays Video of all formats smoothly. I plan on doing tests encoding DVD to SVCD in the future aswell as mp3 ripping speeds. If you like i can keep you posted with any updates i have. Just PM me an email. I am really interested in the FC boot because of the tempratures in Canada, so ill be testing that very soon.

I am going to be putting this board in my car within the next few weeks (pending the status of the rest of the install)....

As for SQ I have no idea but I'm betting it won't be as good as it could be with a better sound card. I am going to be running the Audigy ZX 2 Notebook (PCMCIA) for the optic out to go to the Alpine PXA-H700 processor with 3 optic ins...

I have been using it on my desk so far and haven't had a problem with it....running 512 mb of ram.

It seems a little bit quicker than my M10000 that I had in the car before...but that could just be me

have you actualy run it yet with the Audigy 2 ZS notebook card? just wondering cause I was planing on getting one for the system i'm building but just noticed on their website that the min specs for it is a 1.2Ghz or equiv AMD or pentium and I have an MII10000 which I heard is more the equiv of around a 600Mhz pentium.

Everyone has already answered your questions pretty much. I have the MII 12000 and I like it so far. I had some problems getting the sound to work in Forodplayer, but it was easy to fix once I figured it out. With any via board don't expect to get 800x480 resolution without a pci video card. I'm running mine from a Opus 90W psu. So far, so good.
